We are partnering with Florida Keys Brewing Company (FKBC) to host a socially-distant, outdoor screening of David Attenborough's new film, "A Life on Our Planet."
Proceeds from each pint of FKBC's Fish Tail Pale Ale sold during Movie Night will be donated to REEF. We will have some REEF swag available for purchase, including t-shirts and neck gaiters, which make great holiday gifts! Please note there there is limited seating at FKBC, so guests are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs.
Our annual winter fundraising campaign is underway! 2020 is the 30th anniversary of REEF, and we need your support to give us a strong start for 2021, and our next 30 years. Members like you make our marine conservation work possible. REEF Trustees and noted marine life authors Ned and Anna DeLoach have put together this special video message for the REEF family.
Meet our festive December Fish of the Month, the Peppermint Basslet (Liopropoma rubre!)
We are thrilled to have teamed up with Waterlust, an eco-clothing company, to create an invasive lionfish collection as their newest line of advocate apparel. The brand-new lionfish line is available on Waterlust's website and includes leggings, an athletic top, a sun suit, and headband. 10% of profits from the sale of the lionfish collection will be donated to REEF. Waterlust products are extremely high quality and are made from environmentally-conscious materials.
We recently added a few new products to our online store, including t-shirts and neck gaiters featuring colorful and unique designs that showcase each of of our core programs - the Grouper Moon Project, Invasive Species Program, and Volunteer Fish Survey Project. The new designs are printed on Comfort Colors brand t-shirts, which are soft, cozy, and pre-shrunk.
